Answer:

a) 220

b) 10

c) 4.55% probability that the selected group will consist of all women.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the people are selected is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

a. In how many ways can three people be selected from this group of twelve?

C_{12,3} = \frac{12!}{3!(12-3)!} = 220

b. In how many ways can three women be selected from the five women?

Three women, from a set of 5. So

C_{5,3} = \frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!} = 10

c. Find the probability that the selected group will consist of all women.

Desired outcomes:

3 women from a set of 4. So

D = C_{5,3} = \frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!} = 10

Total outcomes:

3 people, from a set of 12. So

T = C_{12,3} = \frac{12!}{3!(12-3)!} = 220

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{10}{220} = 0.0455

4.55% probability that the selected group will consist of all women.

In a survey, 11 people were asked how much they spent on their child's last birthday gift. The results were roughly bell-shaped
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The population standard deviation is not known.

90% Confidence interval by T₁₀-distribution: (38.3, 53.7).

Step-by-step explanation:

The "standard deviation" of $14 comes from a survey. In other words, the true population standard deviation is not known, and the $14 here is an estimate. Thus, find the confidence interval with the Student t-distribution. The sample size is 11. The degree of freedom is thus 11 - 1 = 10.

Start by finding 1/2 the width of this confidence interval. The confidence level of this interval is 90%. In other words, the area under the bell curve within this interval is 0.90. However, this curve is symmetric. As a result,

  • The area to the left of the lower end of the interval shall be 1/2 \cdot (1 - 0.90)= 0.05.
  • The area to the left of the upper end of the interval shall be 0.05 + 0.90 = 0.95.

Look up the t-score of the upper end on an inverse t-table. Focus on the entry with

  • a degree of freedom of 10, and
  • a cumulative probability of 0.95.

t \approx 1.812.

This value can also be found with technology.

The formula for 1/2 the width of a confidence interval where standard deviation is unknown (only an estimate) is:

\displaystyle t \cdot \frac{s_{n-1}}{\sqrt{n}},

where

  • t is the t-score at the upper end of the interval,
  • s_{n-1} is the unbiased estimate for the standard deviation, and
  • n is the sample size.

For this confidence interval:

  • t \approx 1.812,
  • s_{n-1} = 14, and
  • n = 11.

Hence the width of the 90% confidence interval is

\displaystyle 1.812 \times \frac{14}{\sqrt{10}} \approx 7.65.

The confidence interval is centered at the unbiased estimate of the population mean. The 90% confidence interval will be approximately:

(38.3, 53.7).
